.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather tonight. There is a chance for light showers Sunday
along with a few rumbles of thunder mainly over southeast Missouri.
Monday will be dry and much warmer, with gusty south winds in the
afternoon.

Rain chances ramp up Tuesday and continue off and on through Thursday
night as a front drops into the area and lingers until a cold front
moves through by Thursday night.

Dispersion will be poor Sunday, but efficient Monday when warmer air
and more wind overtake the area.
